Verily all praise is for Allah, we praise Him and seek His aid and ask for His forgiveness and we believe in Him and we place our trust upon Him, and we seek refuge with Allah from the evils of ourselves and our evil actions. Whomsoever Allah guides there is none who can misguide him, and whomsoever Allah misguides there is none who can guide him, and we bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped except Allah alone, having no partner, and we bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger

On the authority of Abu Muhammad Abdullah bin ’Amr bin al-’Aas Radiallahu Anhu, who said : Rasullullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said, “None of you [truly] believes until his desires are subservient to that which I have brought.”

[Imam an-Nawawi says: We have related it in Kitab al-Hujjah with a Saheeh chain of narrators]

| BRIEF EXPLANTION |

In this Hadith we understand an important aspect of subjugating oneself to the Deen of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala. A person’s Imaan is not complete until he follows those commands and prohibitions, that which Rasullullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam brought. Till one’s whims and desires do not become subservient to the Deen, one cannot be a true Mu’min. After attesting the Nubuwwat of Rasullullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, it becomes necessary to adopt his way of life in all aspects.

It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. ~ Surah Al Ahzaab 33:36

All acts of disobedience arise from giving preference to what the self loves over what Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala and Rasullullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam loves. Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala describes the idolaters in following their desires in numerous Ayaah of the Noble Qur’aan.

But if they do not respond to you – then know that they only follow their [own] desires. And who is more astray than one who follows his desire without guidance from Allah? ~ Surah Al Qasas 28:50

Those who’s hearts are filled with the love of Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala and the love of Rasullullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, the pure and flawless Shariah then becomes second nature to them. They then reach a stage where their Nafs (inner-self) desires only that which Shariah desires from them.
